Hindu tan man. Hindu jivan. Rag rag Hindu mera parichay. Views strictly personal. That this has to be stated explicitly is a sign of the times we live in!

Similar issue was there when Andhra State was formed.

x.com/kvsarmaj/statu…

Tanguturi realized that Krishna-Guntur pressure groups and Anantapur pressure groups are trying to gain control by seeking capital in their regions. He got Kurnool as the state capital. x.com/HeathensWeb/st… When AP was formed in 1956 as well, the issue of capital was a tough one. If we had continued with Kurnool, AP's political trajectory would have been extremely different. Mulki rules, Jai Andhra movement, Jai Telangana movement - all had seed in capital.

There is a brilliant dialogue between Chandragupta, and Kekaiyaraj in Chanakya. At a point in the conversation, Chandragupta tells Kekaiyaraj something profound. Dialogues like these are timeless, like Ripudaman's arguments regarding refugee crisis earlier in the series. " ... ye samaaj swahiton mei lipt logon se hi bhara pada hai ... yahi samaaj ka bada bhaag hai ... inse mukti paa kar samaaj ka punarghatan kaise sambhav hai? ... parivartan ki prakriya mei hum inhe kaise dur rak sakte hai? ...

The varnamala in Telugu has direct import from paninian system. As with samskrtam, we divide varnamala into "acch" (acchulu - vowels) and "hal" (hallulu - consonants). This is derived from paninian rules for "ach" and "hal" from mAheshwara sutraNi. Telugu grammar codified by the great poet nannaya bhaTTArakuDu was written in samskrtam and he named it "Andhra Shabdha Chintamani". It contains many rules similar to samskrtam - like say ka, cha, Ta, ta, pa changing to ga, ja, Da, da, ba when facing anusvara.

I asked grok to analyze this padyam today - my curiosity got the better of me. It is perhaps one of the most insightful padyams in Telugu language. The padyam doesnt use the word sita but shows us sitamma in every aspect of sri rama!

x.com/kvsarmaj/statu… x.com/kvsarmaj/statu… First I asked grok to look at the pic in the linked post. it couldnt read the padyam well. It read it as shown in the screen shot. Image

Bijaganitam - the name comes from Bhaskara II's book Siddhanta Shiromani. vivekitam.wordpress.com/2014/12/29/bha…

Algorithm - Al-Khwarizmi copied kuttaka from Aryabhatta and it became Algorithm in English. Kuttaka literally means pulverization - solving by breaking down into steps. x.com/HPhobiaWatch/s… We see remarkable continuity of though from Sripati down to Bhaskara II and beyond.

2 centuries after Bhaskara II wrote Siddhanta Shiromani, Krishna Daviajna wrote a commentary on Siddhanta Shiromani.

This is what happens when people worship knowledge.

Telugu preserved this letter and its dual matra version as in the picture below.

Telugus also preserve "lR-" but are now lost. We hardly every find them. Infact the dual matra of "R-" itself is now lost. "R-" is preserved because we still know there is RgvEdaM. Image In time, some Telugus will become Cs and some will become Ms and then we will forget the remaining letters as well and we will become zombies - not knowing what to live for, what to die for, living with abusive practices of religions no one can understand or comprehend!

Heheheheee ... Alexander and his brave folks were so badly beaten by elephants during his raids in NW India, that he had no option but to add them ... but you know lets just say "he pioneered use of elephants". Nobody will stop us anyway!

Image These fellows were literally looking for Buddha statue. I can understand the *looove* for Buddha but why does "universal happiness" need to come from Buddhists only? Well it could have come from anything ... but not the Hindus. It should not. We will not allow it. Image

I once asked my director if I worked on a project without using any resources of the company, would the company have a claim on it? "company can claim everything as long as it falls within the domain of work you do here".

"so you can claim anything I do outside office related to chip design"

"theoretically yes"

People are reading too much into fewer IITans going abroad. I am not very sure it has anything to do with innovation in India. According to me, it is just a side effect of the pandemic. I am of the opinion that any sane IITan would be more interested in securing an MS or a Ph.D. seat in one of the big universities in the US.

The lack of discussion on the law is painful. The lower courts are even worse. You don't even feel like even listening to what they say. There is rarely a rational discussion of the case, the legal provisions and whether or not law has been broken. Judges would do well not to "Resolve" the issue. They are not brokers. They have to judge whether the law has been broken. If yes, how? We have copious legends of Hindu kings following truly remarkable discussion on what the crime is and why the punishment is justified.

No amount of explanation will change public perception. GST will be seen as a central government tax. Some observations from KG basin based on anecdotes and talking to CAs:

Business owners who really care about their businesses love GST - it has removed so much red tape! Many CAs hate GST. In KG basin, rich agri land owners and business people - esp in real estate - used to have CAs do all sorts of magic tricks to avoid tax. CAs charge % of revenues as fee. Now this has come down significantly and CAs' purses are lighter.

After two failed attempts to get darshana of the swayambhu at Korukonda, today finally prabhu granted permission.

The rama katha sculpted in the prakara atop the hill - what an awesome temple! The outer walls of the prakara of swayambhu atop the hill has the rama katha sculpted around it in two rows. Some snaps. Pardon bad pics. No talent.

People like this idiot like us to die in shame, may be even dismantle our national character. But for the sake of those who are still interested in some sanity:

arunshouri.blogspot.com/2008/05/listen…

This was Arun Shourie (unable to locate original articles in Indian Express) on India in 2013 Why his voice matters? Because he is a certified Modi hater by both our side blackpillers and our enemies too.

Why this 3-piece opinion? Because these achievements are not that of Modi government and hence cannot contested as some sort of apologetic.

Very important question in today's Bhagavadgita Lessons live on SVBC:

If we are all under the control of trigunatmaka mula prakriti, then what is the point of all this? Anyhow, I cannot do anything on by own free will!?

Acharya is at 61st shloka in 18th adhyaya. Personally, this question has been bugging me from as long as I can remember. I don't think I understand much of what acharya is saying - missing brain cells you see - but I hope others who have this question would help. Lesson is in #Telugu

Madam is very funny in this explanatory video. She points at "everything" as the reason for brain drain. I think she is trying not to screw up by pointing to the obvious reason - broken administration and judiciary.

We can't trust our judiciary to deliver justice. We can't trust our taxation system to be fair. We can't trust our financial systems to be open.

Most think that the story of the decade in a laid back town like Rajamahendravaram is the rise and rise of the radical evangelical Christian faith.

The real story is the undeniable growth of the Islamic fundamentalist middle class. Just 2 decades ago, in this town, we had hardly a handful of Muslims who would refuse to speak with others in Telugu. Only the marwadi women used to refuse to speak in Telugu - they would never learn the language.

From Tanguturi Prakasam garu's biography - "నా జీవన యాత్ర" (from the third part which was added to the biography. This part was written by "Tenneti Vishwanatham".

Note the consternation that happened between leaders of that time about the capital city. Even when Andhra State was formed, the natural choice of capital was Visakhapatnam (well, obvious if you think about it). But "socialists and communists" in Vijayawada wanted a temporary capital in Vijayawada.

I have no hesitation in saying that TDP - be it online, offline, on the ground or underground - have no even an iota of inclination towards a strong hindutva base. They are only and only interested in their business. Fair game. No problem with it. But H-wadis should be careful. There was a time when Andhra Telugus unequivocally echoed national interest. Politicians showed it in their actions. Today that is not the case. Couple that with a lost and degraded emotional core among the electorate, you get AP.

Question:
How does Singapore handle inter faith marriages?

The answer may shock you based on where you stand on the universality of LKY's ways. Singapore, from what I understand, has no restrictions on inter-faith marriage except when a Muslim man is involved. The bride has to convert. The State trains the woman in a conversion course and facilitates the conversion.

On Virility and the nonsensical threads going around of virulous muzzie etc., Gudipati Venkatachalam - Telugu radical communist feminist who later became an ardent devotee of Ramana Maharshi and left his purvashrama - wrote a book called Maidanam (open ground). The book's lead character is a married Hindu woman who finds her husband's work associate Aamir as an alpha male and is aroused just by hearing his voice. The whole story is about how we should be open about this issue and why women must embrace this notion. of open sex.

Even that thought of "simple minded folks sustaining systems" is Hindu in every way.

My mother once told me a story that she heard from her mother - this story also featured in a mini series on DD in Telugu during my childhood called "Ganapati". Once a young boy had a question. He frantically ran to the old sadhu living near a huge bilva tree on the outskirts of the village. Panting, he asked, "Swami, please pardon my intrusion. I need to ask you a question immediately. This is very urgent."
